Beninese music sensation Angélique Kidjo has made history as the first African artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Announced during a conference by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, this remarkable achievement highlights her incredible contributions to music and culture.

Kidjo, a five-time Grammy winner, has spent over four decades breaking barriers with her unique blend of Afrobeat, jazz, and traditional West African sounds. Beyond music, she’s a fierce advocate for education and gender equality, inspiring young girls through her humanitarian work.
